Android TV 4K UI/Apps

by austinsweden

Hi,

I have a Hisense 4K tv with Android TV. However, It looks to me that the Android TV UI is in a lower resolution (maybe 1080p?), as well as most of the android apps UI. 4K video works with youtube, etc, but the UIs are not in 4K.

Does anyone know of a way to use Android Apps (specifically the UI) in 4K? I am hoping to use apps (including web browsers) that make full use of the 4K dpi to display data/charts on the screen.

Thanks for any help!

Android apps have to specifically declare in their manifest they want to be displayed in full 4K, so you'll need to find a developer for whatever app you're trying to use who's willing to make that change or code your own.

I don't understand why you even want this. My home screen on my 2017 Nvidia Shield looks just fine in 1080P.
